Control of Insect-like Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles I: Control Mechanic

In allusion to the design and control difficult of insect-like flapping wing micro air vehicle (FMAV) for its two degrees of freedom wings, a feasible control mechanic is brought forward based on the analysis of wing kinematics parameters' influence on aerodynamics forces. This mechanic demand a single active degree of freedom (attack angle) for control the six independent degrees of freedom in aerodynamics forces and torques, then ensure the controllability of FMAV, which simplify the mechanical design and control difficult of insect-like FMAV.
